    my electric fence has trouble working if the ground is too dry. to get around this, i hook my ground wire to the metal fence and/or run a ground wire between hot wires. if you hit both at once, you get the full shock. note that if your electric fence gets shorted out, and your ground is the fenceline, your gates and stuff will spark…..

    I also suggest you get a charger with as many Jules as you can afford if you are going to try to keep in cows, goats/sheep… (my favorite I have is 16j and it is great! – until I get bit too…)
